like dys says, if they're backups then i understand why they're there, but i feel that could clutter pretty easily eventually haha

i'm not sure if anything went wrong? here's an example. That file just stays there, and sometimes there's more like in the pic.

Ah okay, so logic wise, so it’s essentially the main value you receive that you pass on?

Ah okay I see, so with the resolve and reject values, you just pass in any variable or variables that’s useful or that you need in the .then function?

And I gather that’s because you’re not chaining a new
.then on to the one in the variable, you’re chaining it as though it’s the first, hence why it inherits that value from it (undefined) and not from any others you’ve done?122 replies

oh okay so i assume by this you mean that since everything in js is an aboject, you're able to call this because this method is included in the object but if you were to call something that wasn't it wouldn't work since there's no return?

Ah. But since I’m chaining on a method to the variable then the variable must return something in order to be equal to it in the chain right?

so assigning a variable is actually a function with a return of the variable value?

i was looking more into this as well, if i run a method on a variable with a number then it works of course, which must mean it returns something, but how would that return be represented since i assume it wouldn't just be
return xyz at the bottom of a function since it's a variable?

so i don't necessarily have to fetch something in there, i can add two numbers for example if i want that to run asynchronously for some reason?

Promise questions
i was just thinking, if promises are mostly used to retrieve info from another source, most functions/methods that allow for that such as
fetch already return promises, so is there really a need to write them fresh yourself when you can just chain on a .then to fetch for example?122 replies

ah okay. What if you chain a method on to a function that doesn't return anything? will it just not do anything or be smart enough to gather a value?

apologies for the ping. Do you know of any resources where i can look into the functionality of that form of chaining where it's replaced with it's result? When i try to look for it it just comes up with adding multiple methods on the same line like .x.y.z haha
